[wellylug] "The quart-annual top-posting debate" was: Setting up a simple web server

[Mark Foster]

Noted you top posted your reply ;-)

The quotefix is fine - but look at it another way.
In the corporate environment its not often that the end user gets to 
choose their software. (Or the plugins or patches they run).  Thats where 
they get to use Outlook.

I would be suprised if many people on WellyLUG use Outlook by choice on 
their personal systems.

So really, one has to hope that the corporate IT heads approve the outlook 
quotefix within their suite.

I know when I was at Telecom, I wouldn't have been allowed to use it.
Likewise with my current employer. (But you wont catch me posting to 
public mailing lists from my work address. Long story.)

- So I use webmail, and I can top or bottom post at will. From work or 
Home. :-)
